You should try to keep this enabled if possible. You are correct that it is a valid security concern. Check out https://webrtchacks.com/webrtc-notify/ for more info. But do you really need to run these services through your VPN every time? I personally say, if your paying for VPN bandwidth, then no. Other services being controlled by MCM should be ran through VPN definitely. But a database lookup for publicly available metadata? That's like looking at the card catalog in the library. You probably cant prevent MCM from accessing the websites in question without using the webrtc in their api's. I assume these sites want your true IP for a few uses. To prevent abuse and overuse of api calls to access the DB metadata and data only file transfers from a content delivery service. A CDN probably hosts most of their images and video.
